The not very secret people

Smile at us, pay us, pass us; we tweet it anyway,
For we are the people of Twitter, who chatter night and day.
There's many a Wikipedian who posts of all he knows,
There's many a Facebook user who blogs his videos.
But we display our secrets, for all the world to see
Our epigrammatic vastness of volubility;
But if you curse at airports, be careful what you say,
Since someone else may hear us, for we chatter night and day.

imgur posting

Earlier this year, arising out of a conversation at GUADEC, I wrote a nautilus plugin to upload images to imgur.com. (This is useful because imgur doesn't require an account: you can just install, hit "upload", and off you go.)

Here is a copy of the same thing as a MeeGo RPM, suitable for use on the Lenovo machines distributed at the MeeGo conference. Once this is installed, you can select a .jpg image in the file browser, press the menu button, and choose "Post to imgur" from the resulting menu. Equivalently, you can choose the same option from the Edit menu. The image will be uploaded, and the web browser will pop up at the new URL.  Then you can send it to your friends, embed it in a blog post, or whatever you like.

The source is here.

Things I would like to do with this:

• Add a similar menu option to the image viewer (which is currently Eye of GNOME).   I haven't looked into how easy it is to extend eog.
• Add an icon to the launcher which brought up a file chooser.
• Separate out the uploading part to a DBus service.
• Do this as a libsharing plugin for Maemo.  I would do this, but I have broken my scratchbox and have no tuits to fix it.
• Have some app which remembered the images you'd uploaded and helped you find them again.  Especially, if you try to upload the same image twice, it should just take you to the previous copy.

Let me know if you use this, what feedback you have, and whether any of the above would be useful to you.
